Ryan P. Loewer
1st Judicial District
Honorable Ryan P. Loewer served as a District Court Magistrate in the 1st JD for nine years, during which he presided over DR, JV, JD, PR, and MH cases. Before that he practiced criminal defense law for 13 years as a Deputy State Public Defender. He is now a District Court Judge and presides over a mixed docket of DR, CV, and CR cases. As it relates to domestic relations law, Judge Loewer is aware of the complexity of cases where families have both domestic and criminal matters pending at the same time. His experience in both domestic and criminal courtrooms gives him perspective on the difficulties domestic and criminal attorneys face in advising their clients (victims and defendants alike) who are attempting to navigate both systems. He has presented CLE's in the areas of overlapping issues of family and criminal law, preliminary hearing practice, indirect contempt practice, magistrate jurisdiction, parental restriction hearings, rules of evidence, financial restitution, and attorney ethics. He is a member of the Colorado Judicial Education Committee and is a committee member and coach for the Colorado Judicial Peer-to-Peer Coaching Program. Judge Loewer attributes his interest in argument and judging to his childhood hobby of competitive livestock and dairy judging. He grew up on a rice farm in southwest Louisiana.
